Figure 7 Low magnification showing an elongated polyp lined by nondysplastic colonic mucosa with normal architecture (H&E, orig. mag. ×1.25). VideoGIE 2017 2, 85-87DOI: (10.1016/j.vgie.2017.01.014) Copyright © 2017 The Authors Terms and Conditions
Figure 8 Higher magnification showing the polyp stalk to be composed of submucosal elements such as adipocytes, connective tissue, and medium-sized muscular vessels. The muscularis mucosae is clearly visible at the base of the colonic crypts (H&E, orig. mag. ×10).
